26 Days of Thankpoems, Day 6

Day Six: Annunciation at the Black Gate

Daughter of the house of David! Of Galilee!

Thou that art highly favoured, I see in your eyes that the Lord is with thee!
A day shall come when thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, but it is not this day.
He shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever, and when the age of men comes crashing down, of his kingdom there shall be no end, but it is not this day!
This day we fight!
By all that you hold dear on this good earth, I bid you, fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God.

-J.G.C
